[Objective]To summarize the clinical experience on anesthesia techniques for surgery of spinal tumors.[Method]A total of 546 patients undergoing surgery of spinal tumors were retrospectively studied,and the complications of surgery were also collected.[Result]There was no perioperative death.The average degree of blood loss was 1997ml per patient who usually required a large volume of blood transfusion.Acute pumonlary edema were occurred in 3 patients who were suspected to develop larynx edema immediately after operation.A perioperative visual loss following cervical spine surgery was also founded.[Conclusion]It is important to prevent and minimize blood loss by varied techniques during operation.Peventing adverse effect of operative position on patients and protecting their airway are also crucial for spinal surgery.

Objective To evaluate the association of prognostic factors and the interval between surgery and radiotherapy in postoperative radiotherapy for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Between December 1982 and December 1992, 132 patients with NSCLC were retrospectively analyzed. The time interval between surgery and radiotherapy ranged from 12 to 90 days, with a median of 36 days. All patients received D T 40～72 Gy. Results Cox proportional analysis showed that stage, Karnofsky performance status, and the interval between treatments were important prognostic factors. Patients with a long interval of 37～90 days had a better survival than those with a short interval of 12～36 days (P

Objective To analyze and discuss the causes of late dysfunction following the mismanagement of acute Lisfranc fracture- dislocations in light of the latest advancement in this field. Methods From March 2000 to February 2005, we treated 34 cases of old Lisfranc fracture- dislocation. 24 cases were treated with open reduction and internal fixation, and 10 with arthrodesis. Results According to the AOFAS for midfoot, 2 cases scored 50 to 60, 4 cases scored 60 to 70, 5 cases scored 70 to 80, 18 cases scored 80 to 90 and 5 cases scored 90 to 100. Conclusions Since the incidence of Lisfranc fracture- dislocation tends to increase, clinic orthopedists must take great care to examine the midfoot strain lest a case should be overlooked. The late complications are related to poor reduction, inadequate fixation, or inadequate postoperative immobilization. For most patients, open reduction and internal fixation within 6 weeks after injure is preferred. The cannulated screws are simple and stable for fixation of lateral and medial columns, and screw removal should be done 3 to 4 months after surgery to prevent recurrent diastasis and screw breakage.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Sema4D and HER-2 in breast cancers and their relationship with microlymphtic vessel density (MLVD).Methods MLVD and expressions of Sema4D and HER-2 were detected in 110 cases of breast cancer tissues by immunohistochemistry.The relationship of Sema4D and HER-2 expressions with clinicopathologic parameters was analyzed.Results The positive expression rate of Sema4D and HER-2 was 71.82％ (79/110) and 33.64％ (37/110),respectively,with a statistically significant differences compared to those in the control group ( P ＜0.01 ).The positive expression rates of Sema4D and MLVD in cases with lymphatic metastasis were higher than that without lymphatic metastasis ( P ＜ 0.01 ).The expressions of Sema4D and HER-2 were closely correlated with the histological grade,TNM stage,lymph node metastasis,and expression of ER of breast cancers ( P ＜0.05),but were not related to tumor size and expression of PR (P ＞ 0.05 ).On univariate analysis,the disease-free survival rate of patients with Sema4D positive expression was better than those with its negative expression ( P ＜ 0.05).Sema4D expression was positively correlated with the HER-2 expression ( r =0.535,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Sema4D may play important roles in the carcinogenesis and development of a breast cancer.

With the development of natural products, the research activities on the solubilization methods of water-insoluble natural products have been carried out worldwide. Big molecular weight and poor solubility of most natural active ingredients lead to a very poor oral absorption and low bioavailability, which has extremely limited their development in pharmaceutical fields and clinical application. As a result, it is necessary to find out a suitable technique to improve the solubility and enhance the oral bioavailability of insoluble natural drugs. Based on the related references published in these years, this review introduced some new techniques to improve the solubility and bioavailability of natural drugs, including prodrugs, inclusion complex, solid dispersion, cocrystals, osmotic pump, liquisolid compacts, micronization, self-microemulsifying, nanosuspensions, lipsomes, polymeric micelles and so on, and summarized the theory, characteristics, application range, application examples, problems and development direction of each technique.

Objective To evaluate the significance of weight-bearing lateral radiographs in evaluation of malunited frac-tures of the ankle. Methods 17 patients with malunited fractures of the ankle were treated by different reconstructive operations be-tween March 2010 and October 2012, including 9 females and 8 males, aged from 17 to 64 years. According to the Takakura classifi-cation of ankle arthritis, there were 7 patients in grade 1, 4 in grade 2 and 6 in grade 3. Simple open reduction and internal fixation were performed in 5 patients, supramalleolar tibial osteotomy in 5, lengthening osteotomy of the fibula in 2, supramalleolar tibial and fibular osteotomy in 5. Tibiofibular clear space on the anteroposterior radiograph. Medial clear space, tibiofibular clear space and tib-iofibular overlap on ankle mortise radiographs were compared preoperatively and at last follow-up. Tibial lateral surface angle (TLS), the offset of the center of talar rotation from the tibial axis, and the displacement of tibiotalar articular surface center on weight-bear-ing lateral X-ray were also compared preoperatively and at last follow-up. AOFAS score was used to evaluate the function of the ankle. Results The duration of follow-up was 9 to 32 months. Bone healing was observed in all patients, and the average healing time was 11 to 14 weeks. Ankle joint degeneration grade had no exacerbation. The medial clear space, tibiofibular clear space and tibiofibular overlap had no significant difference between the pre and postoperative. Statistically significant change was seen postoperatively in the values of TLS (76.9°±4.1° vs 80.9°±5.2°). The offset of the center of rotation from the tibial axis and the displacement of tibiotalar articular surface center were changed from 10.8 ± 2.1 mm to 2.0 ± 0.5 mm and 4.5 ± 1.5 mm to 2.2 ± 1.0 mm, respectively. The average AOFAS score was improved from 45.7 ± 15.9 points preoperatively to 82.0 ± 9.9 points postoperatively. Conclusion Weight-bearing lateral radiographs can be used to judge the ankle restoration. Even if the mortise radiograph had relative good realignment, it may ap-pear obvious deformity on lateral radiographs. Good reduction of lateral radiographs requires that the mid axis of the tibia should pass through the center of talar rotation and tibiotalar articular surface be parallel on the lateral radiograph.

Objective To investigate anti-ulcerative drug use in patients undergoing arthroscopic operation against stress ulcer. Methosds A total of 297 patients undergoing arthroscopic operation during Jan. to Aug. 2013 in our hospital were recruited and retrospectively analyzed with Excellspreadsheet. Results Among 297 patients in the study, ninety-four patients (31.6%) used AUD before operation, most (94.9%) administered by intravenous, and drug utilization index was 1.35. Ninety-eight point nine patients used proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in which Lansoprazole was prescribed most. Conclusion This study highlights the overuse of PPIs in patients undergoing arthroscopic operation.

This pa-per reviewed on the kinds and pharmacological effects of the active ingredients in Ginkgo biloba extracts, and focused on four aspects including controlled-release preparations, solubilized solid preparations, nanoparticle formulations and time- and site-specific formula-tions to introduce the development in the new dosage forms of Ginkgo biloba flavonoids and lactone compounds.

Objective To analyze the effect of ankle joint proprioceptor injury on the functional ankle instability. Methods The study enrolled 18 ( 13 males) with chronic ankle instability treated with ligament reconstruction operation. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeons (AOFAS)score was used for evaluation of the function before and after operation and the balance system evaluate the proprioception function. The two ankle ligament specimens from fresh frozen body and the tissue samples from operation were used for investigation of the structure and distribution of the sensory corpuscles by using histology and immunohistoehemical staining. Results The sections were evaluated with a microscope and an image analyzer. Labeled nerve endings were mapped, measured and categorized. Type Ⅰ ( Ruffini-like ending) , type Ⅱ ( Pacinin-like corpuscle ) and type Ⅳ- (noncorpuscular) nerve endings could be identified in all the lateral ankle ligaments, with majority of types Ⅰ and Ⅱ nerve endings.These receptors were distributed primarily over the superficial ligament and near the bony attachments.There was statistical difference between preoperative and postoperative sway distance as well as between preoperative and postoperative AOFAS score. Conclusions This study suggests that the longer history,severer symptoms and lower AOFAS score may lead to the severer injury of the mechanical proprioceptors.The proprioceptor injury is correlated with ankle joint instability and the ligament reconstruction is effective to avoid the repeated injury of the proprioceptor.
